Picture frame HAMA Cottage single, polystyrene, taupe, fits 30 x 40 cm

HAMA Cottage single picture frame in taupe is a lightweight polystyrene frame designed to hold a single 30 x 40 cm photo or poster. It features a flat profile with a deliberately worn-look finish, washed-quality glass, and a 15 mm profile depth that allows for straightforward wall mounting or tabletop display. The frame includes a premium mount and hanging fittings suitable for both portrait and landscape orientation.

Advantages

The frame combines a modern plastic construction with a shabby-chic appearance, offering the look of a distressed wooden frame while remaining light and easy to handle. Precision mitres and a premium mount provide neat corners and secure positioning of the artwork, and the washed-quality glass reduces reflections for clearer viewing.

Suitable for

• Framing 30 x 40 cm photos and posters
• Home and office decoration
• Gallery walls with a shabby-chic or rustic aesthetic
• Temporary or lightweight displays where easy mounting is required

When it may not be suitable

This polystyrene frame imitates a distressed finish and is intended for decorative use rather than high-end conservation; it may not be suitable where archival materials or heavy-duty protection are required. It is lightweight and therefore not ideal for very large or heavy framed objects beyond the intended 30 x 40 cm format.

Key specifications

• Material: polystyrene (plastic) frame
• Colour: taupe with used-look foil finish
• Fits artwork size: 30 x 40 cm
• Profile depth: 15 mm
• Glass: washed-quality glass
• Orientation: portrait and landscape (hanging fittings included)

How to use

Remove the back panel, place the 30 x 40 cm print or photo into the frame against the mount, and secure the back panel. Use the included hanging fittings to mount the frame on a wall in portrait or landscape orientation, or stand it on a tabletop if supported. Clean the glass with a soft, lint-free cloth and a suitable cleaner before inserting artwork to avoid dust and fingerprints.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the artwork or print measures 30 x 40 cm to ensure proper fit
• Consider that polystyrene is lightweight and decorative rather than archival-grade
• Decide whether the shabby-look finish matches your interior style

Usage recommendations

For best results, use prints or photos trimmed to 30 x 40 cm and handle the frame gently during installation; avoid placing in direct sunlight for prolonged periods to preserve the finish and reduce fading of mounted artwork.
